SEW-EURODRIVE will exhibit its new PxG economy servo planetary gear units, covering performance classes P1, P2 and P3, at the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg on 24–26 November 2026. According to the company’s announcement of 30 October 2026, the new range is designed to bridge the gap between simple automation tasks and more demanding mechanical engineering applications, and is available now.
The Bruchsal-based drive specialist positions PxG economy for machine builders looking for robust, cost-efficient solutions for handling, packaging and pick-and-place applications. The new classes complement the established PxG precision variants in performance classes P5 to P7, which are designed for the highest requirements in precision, dynamics and power density.
Matching the gear unit to the load
SEW-EURODRIVE describes P1.G.. as the entry point into servo drive technology: compact, functional and cost-optimised gear units for automation concepts with limited budgets, such as labelling and marking systems. P2.G.. targets applications with higher mechanical loads, offering a robust basis and additional reserves for radial forces; the company cites carton erectors as a typical application.
P3.G.. combines the economical design of classes P1 and P2 with the high-quality bearing arrangement of class P5. According to the company, this makes it suitable for applications with very high radial forces, such as those found in linear robots.
Modular system and standard servo motors
The PxG range is built on a modular principle in which gear unit sizes, bearing types, backlash classes and further options can be freely combined. The company says the compact design delivers high torque in a small installation space, and an adapter system allows the gear units to be combined with servo motors commonly available on the market.
With the new classes, SEW-EURODRIVE says it now covers the full spectrum from simple positioning and conveying tasks to demanding robotics applications. The company also highlights high availability “Made in Germany” and interfaces that are compatible across the entire PxG portfolio and with existing customer applications.
